Prognostic factors and genetic markers in thymic epithelial tumors: A narrative review
Thoracic Cancer, Volume 13, Issue 23, Page 3242-3249, December 2022., 2022 The aim of this review article is to discuss the different prognostic factors and genetic markers of TET and to point out discrepancies and similarities among the available literature (concerning prognostic factors) and more importantly to demonstrate the genetic pathways that could be the basis of a development of new targeted therapies.

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 The 3D map shows a scarred area in the left atrial posterior wall. The left atrial posterior area and mitral isthmus line act as obstructions in the tachycardia. Propagation apparently shows a centrifugal pattern from LA inferoseptal area (yellow arrows).

Endovascular treatment of superior vena cava syndrome: case report and review of the literature [PDF]
, 2006 We report a case of a patient with symptomatic benign superior vena cava syndrome treated by the endovascular technique. The angiographic resonance before angioplasty showed extensive thrombosis of the left brachiocephalic trunk, left subclavian vein and

Risks and Benefits of Using a Commercially Available Ventricular Assist Device for Failing Fontan Cavopulmonary Support: A Modeling Investigation [PDF]
, 2019 Fontan patients often develop circulatory failure and are in desperate need of a therapeutic solution. A blood pump surgically placed in the cavopulmonary pathway can substitute the function of the absent sub-pulmonary ventricle by generating a mild pressure boost.

A sharp interface Lagrangian-Eulerian method for rigid-body fluid-structure interaction [PDF]
, 2020 This paper introduces a sharp interface method to simulate fluid-structure interaction (FSI) involving rigid bodies immersed in viscous incompressible fluids. The capabilities of this methodology are demonstrated for a range of benchmark test cases along with large-scale models of biomedical FSI.

A finite element solver and energy stable coupling for 3D and 1D fluid models [PDF]
, 2013 The paper develops a solver based on a conforming finite element method for a 3D--1D coupled incompressible flow problem. New coupling conditions are introduced to ensure a suitable bound for the cumulative energy of the model. We study the stability and accuracy of the discretization method, and the performance of some state-of-the-art linear ...
